Wonderful range of tones in this blended presentation. The color variations of the lens flare adds a rather interesting effect here.

nicely composed. i'd be tempted to bring up the midtones a little.

Very sweet light. The comp., colors, and depth of the image are great. You have created a very nice early morning mood.

I like how you composed the scene. I agree about bringing up the midtones a bit. Great mood.

Great blend Morkel - I really like the backlight on the grass. My only nit is the blues that look too cyanish and over saturated. But that's a minor nit. Looks like your lens wasn't very clean...
